Lost the magic and fun of it all

Has anyone else felt like this or is it just me???? I really want to get pg more than anything, I would be the happiest woman in the world. I used to get excited every month think could be may I will be and that feeling was great. Now I have been trying for 9 months and nothing and the doctor says I have to wait till its a full yr before they can do more tests as it still could happen. I just get ready to be upset every month in fact I hate my period so much I get into a mini depression that week more so then what I should cos its just another sign I am not pg! At time now I also think it will never happen for me and I feel so empty. I love my hubby and family and friends but no matter how much I enjoy life my empty space just isnt getting completed. I am not going to do anything silly and I still enjoy life and have a level head about things. Just wish lfe wasnt so cruel somethimes and could just give me this one break!

Of course it's a little too late now, but you should have told your RE you were trying for over a year. I know how frustrating it must be - you know in your heart something is not right or you would have been pg already, but you're being told to wait. Waiting really sucks. I wish I had some good advice to give you, but if I did I would be feeling a lot better myself right now. All I can say is - don't give up hope. Your time will come. I understand everything you're feeling right now because I also feel it every day. Just do what you have to do to get through - and don't beat yourself up too bad for how you feel. It's ok to cry, it's ok to grieve when AF shows up, it's ok to be mad. We're here for you whenever you need to vent or talk, whatever. Just know you're not alone!

I am totally with you. I feel like it is never going to happen and I will forever be known in the family as the one who can't have kids. After the new year DH and I have decided to focus on our health. We are going to start eating healthier and working out. Maybe taking some of the focus off trying to get pg will help. Waiting is so hard, but when your time comes it will make it all the more special! I'm here if you ever need anything.

Good luck to you. I know how you feel, when we first started trying over 4 years ago I was the same way (every month a huge disappointment). I also was honest with my doctor's w/ how long we'd been trying and they also made me wait a year before any testing. (in hind sight, wish I would have lied about that to get things rolling earlier).
Just hang in there and know we're all here for you when you need us. I would love to say it gets easier, but it doesn't.
Good luck.

I feel that way too at times. I think most of us do. I am so sick of buying Tampax. Every time I go in to get them it reminds me that we still do not have a family. I also feel the void that only a child could fill. I pray we both have that void filled soon.

I am pregnant!!! I am so excited and happy. Been to the doctors today and had it confirmd I am 4 and a half week pregnant!!!! I am excited but scared as well as I want this baby so much and I dont want anything to go wrong.

I am going to be positive though and enjoy this fantastic gift I have been given.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
